this needs no explanation. it scares me, though. and i want to see the doll inside this doll, and the doll inside the doll that is inside this doll, and the doll inside the doll that is inside the doll that is inside this doll, and the doll that is inside the doll that is inside the doll that is inside the doll that is inside this doll. and if there are more, i want to see those as well.

and i’m sorry it’s not been on my radar or in my orbit. some crazy shit showed up and at the moment i can’t decide if i really like it or if it gives me the creeps (pregnancy on the runway? with a muff no less.):

he died at the tender age of 31, of pancreatic cancer. some reading this blah-g may not even know who he was. this is a big tragedy because he was one of the best comics…bold, irreverent, smart, and i could go on forever. but watching the doco is far better than a m0dschm0d blah-g post. below is a link to part 1 of 7.

if you do know who bill hicks is, you’ll groove heartily. get your cigarettes and start watching.

imelda marcos has done some mighty naughty and evil things. i don’t condone any of her abborant behavior. yet there remains one thing for which i will always admire her. she let the world know, in no uncertain terms, that shoes were essential to many a woman’s existence. by having thousands of pairs, she also let the world know about the filipino culture in a nutshell: s/he who has the most, wins.

i’ve been collecting images of wacky shoes for a while, and it’s time to play show and tell. do let me know what you think goes on in the minds of designers…because with some of the shoes, i am at a complete and total loss. i throw my hands in the hair and mouth WTF, because i just don’t get it.

painful to see, painful to wear and incredibly impractical.

the only pair of shoes i've seen that 1) you must remove to use the toilet, and 2) the shoes are connected. (connected shoes usually implies someone has tied your laces together so you will trip.)

okay, as with the boots above, what is with the bare feet action at the front? all beach in front, all glamour in back? not only are these impractical, i find them unattractive as well.

allow me to explain. there once was a d00d with a van. he had a bunch of cameras. he wanted to take pictures with the cameras, but he wanted spontaneous photos. voila! he covered his van with working cameras (not a bare inch to spare except on the top) so naturally, passers by think the van is covered with something, of which they know not. if the passers by happen to sort that the items clinging to the van are cameras, they naturally think they are of the discarded, non-functioning variety. who would be sufficiently insane to cover a van with real, working cameras?

i’m all for covert surveillance, to be in on a good, juicy secret, but this is just too much work!
